Set to arrive in Canada by early Q1 2024, the GLC Coupé's extensive enhancements span its standard features and in-car technologies, elevating it to meet the demands of discerning drivers. The cutting-edge MBUX (Mercedes-Benz User Experience) infotainment system has been updated to its latest generation, further enriching the driving experience. The GLC Coupé will be as agile and enjoyable on the highway as it will be around the city, and thanks to a range of new features, it is also quite capable when driving off-road. Let’s take a closer look at everything that sets the new 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé apart from the competition.

A new electrified powertrain under the hood of the 2024 Mercedes-Benz GLC Coupé

The GLC Coupé introduces an innovative electrified propulsion system, featuring an advanced four-cylinder powerplant with cutting-edge mild-hybrid technology. At its core, a second-generation integrated starter-generator (ISG) works harmoniously with a highly-efficient 48-volt on-board electrical system to provide exceptional driving dynamics. This synergistic combination enables the ISG to support the combustion engine even at low RPMs, ensuring optimal power delivery alongside the advanced turbocharging setup. 

Additionally, the 48-volt electrical system plays a crucial role in enhancing overall performance by enabling various hybrid functions, such as coasting, energy recuperation, and power boosting capabilities. This innovative propulsion system translates to swift and virtually imperceptible starts, stops, and seamless driver experiences, all while delivering exceptional fuel efficiency and reduced emissions.

The aerodynamics of the GLC Coupé have been significantly enhanced, boasting a noteworthy reduction in drag coefficient to a minimal Cd value of 0.27 in its most favorable configuration. This figure represents an improvement of 0.03 compared to its predecessor, which had a Cd value of 0.30. The design team employed sophisticated digital flow simulations utilizing computational fluid dynamics (CFD) and conducted rigorous testing in the aeroacoustic wind tunnel to optimize the vehicle's aerodynamic capabilities while simultaneously reducing wind noise. The meticulous advancements have resulted in a more efficient and comfortable driving experience for the GLC Coupé.

A brand-new, more luxurious interior for the new GLC Coupé

The revamped interior of the new GLC Coupé showcases a contemporary and sporty design, featuring the advanced AMG line as a standard offering with numerous substantial enhancements. One key upgrade is the impressive 12.3-inch (31.2 cm) high-resolution LCD display located directly in front of the driver, which appears to effortlessly hover above the sleek wing profile and trim surface. Additionally, the 11.9-inch (30.2 cm) central monitor rises gracefully from the heart of the console, seemingly floating above the trim surface as well. The strategic placement and inclination of both screens, as well as the dashboard, are directed towards the driver, ensuring optimal visibility and ease of use.

The enhanced dimensions of the GLC Coupé showcase a powerful and athletic appearance, with its length of 4,763 mm making it 31 mm longer and 5 mm taller than its forerunner. Additionally, the vehicle features increased track widths of 1627 mm at the front, a 6 mm increment, and a 23 mm growth to 1640 mm in the rear. These expanded dimensions not only contribute to a longer wheelbase, but also more extended front and rear overhangs, offering improved stability and handling. The vehicle maintains its width of 1,890 mm.

Boasting a more significant trunk capacity, the GLC Coupé is prepared to handle long journeys with the whole family effortlessly. Its 545 litres of trunk space equal an additional 45 litres compared to its predecessor, which can be expanded to a generous 1,490 litres, marking an impressive increase of 90 litres. To further enhance the ease of accessibility to this roomier cargo area, an automatic tailgate comes as a standard feature across all models.

More standard features and more technology

The new GLC Coupé boasts significant enhancements to its standard equipment, making it exceedingly desirable for potential buyers. Among these upgrades is the inclusion of the AMG Line package as a standard feature inside, which comes with an array of impressive amenities. Passengers can enjoy large display screens, seamless smartphone integration, and the convenience of wireless phone charging. Moreover, both the driver and front passenger can experience the comfort of heated seats during chilly drives.

In an effort to cater to customer preferences, the organization and availability of package options have been substantially restructured. Frequently bundled features are now assembled in cohesive packages, while design elements such as paint, upholstery, trim, and wheels continue to be offered individually, giving customers the flexibility to customize their vehicles specifically to their taste. This combination of an upgraded standard suite and simplified yet customizable options sets the new GLC Coupé apart, ensuring that buyers get the exact features they want.
